Verified Oct 12, 2026. History begins at the first verified snapshot.
A processing month is a queue indicator, not a live case lookup or remaining-wait estimate. An average duration does not predict your decision date. PWD request counts are prevailing-wage requests, not pending PERM labor-certification cases. OEWS refers to Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics.
Official DOL processing times. Weekly checks validate the source before replacing data; failed checks preserve the last verified snapshot.
